The kid and I got over to the parents house before they were out of bed. We had started breakfast. The look on Mom’s face when came down and saw that breakfast was almost ready and the kitchen was clean… That was one of the best smiles I’ve ever seen.

I went over to my friend house to exchange presents and have Christmas dinner. Got me a metal detector. I have been talking about getting one for years. There suppose to be 400 to 500 dollars in silver coins hidden somewhere on this place. The person who hided it died in 1894. I don’t expect to fine it. But I do know where the old barn and house were. And I think it will be fun looking for it. Who knows what I might find.

My favorite part, was meeting up with my cousins (I have a lot of them) some I have not talked to in years. It turned out to be a surprising Christmas Eve for me. I was actually maintaining my composure, and doing a pretty good job socially.
I also liked the Christmas tree, with all of it’s nicely lit colored lights. I hope everyone had a peaceful Christmas - Happy New year to everyone.

Had dinner at my sisters house. We had lamb and roasted potatoes and after dinner we watched ‘Glee’ on TV. It was the first time I ever saw it! My brother-in-law is recuperating from hip surgery so he didn’t sit with us. But about a month ago they had gone on vacation to China for a week. As a favor, I went over their house every other day and fed their cat, watered their plants and got their mail. Tonight my brother-in-law handed me an envelope with a card inside. I opened the card and a $100.00 bill was inside!! They said it was for taking care of their house. I’m broke right now so it couldn’t have come at a better time.

my favourite part of Christmas was lifting my nephew up into the air cause hes dressed like captain America and hes just so adorable and giving my neice some earrings she like and of course eating whatever I want helps!
